Roti – Chapati – Parantha

As per google, the main differences among these three varieties of Indian flat breads :



BBread Type
Dough IngredientsCooking TechniqueFinished Texture
RotiWhole wheat flour, waterCooked on dry tawaSoft, thin, plain flatbread
ChapatiWhole wheat flour, waterRolled thin, puffed directlyVery light, thin, flexible
ParathaFlour, water, oil, gheeLayered, shallow fried on tawaCrispy, flaky, layered, rich

Some concepts of these three forms of Indian flat bread, were passed on from my mom, aunts, and grannies. Till date though, I get confused which category my flat bread creation belongs to. Continuing from the previous post about how to make the chapati dough using a KitchenAid mixer, here in this video, I attempt to make what I think are chapati and roti. Please let me know in the comments if they are categorized in the correct way.
